On May 28, Avis Budget Group rose 5.18% in regular trading, reaching $174.8 per share with trading volume of $13.21 million, as short squeeze dynamics and proactive debt management measures continued to fuel bullish momentum.

On the news front, the company announced the completion of pricing for a $300 million private offering of 8% senior notes due 2031.
